Annotations

Law reviews. - For note discussing procedures required to effect a levy of execution, see 12 Ga. L. Rev. 814 (1978). JUDICIAL DECISIONS Meaning of ‘‘next term’’. - This section means that executions shall be returnable to the next term after the money can be lawfully made. Chamberlin & Co. v. Beck, Gregg & Co., 68 Ga. 346 (1882). Section applicable to foreclosure of security interest. - Former Code 1933, § 67-701 (see now O.C.G.A. § 44-14-230),

relating to the foreclosure of security interests, did not make provision for the execution to be returnable to any particular term of court, so former Code 1933, § 39-125 (see now O.C.G.A. § 9-13-9) would apply. Youmans v. Consumers Fin. Corp., 77 Ga. App. 373, 48 S.E.2d 684 (1948).
